Your Woodland Retreat
Woodthorpes is a family-owned farm, steeped in history and rustic charm. While you’re here, you might see other visitors training their horses in our equestrian arena. Feel free to explore our beautiful surroundings with walks and bicycles available for hire. However, do keep in mind that our location is delightfully rural, so having a car at your disposal is recommended. We operate a self-check-in system for your convenience, but rest assured, we’re always here to assist you. Dedicated private parking is provided right next to your huts.
Meet the Woodthorpes Family
We’re Liz and Sam, proud members of the Woodthorpes family. We are part of three generations living on the farm, and our journey has been one of love, sustainability, and growth. Since acquiring the farm in 2014, we’ve made meaningful changes to create a sustainable and eco-friendly environment. We’ve even cultivated a small allotment on the farm, producing fresh vegetables that grace the shelves of local farm shops. Our farm is now home to a delightful mix of chickens, goats, horses, and dogs, adding to the rustic charm that defines Woodthorpes.
We can’t wait to share our beautiful new huts with you, and we look forward to making your experience truly unforgettable. So, pack your bags, leave the city behind, and come join us in embracing the beauty of The Huts at Woodthorpes .
